To determine the placement of departments for a newly designed facility that will minimize total transportation costs, you'll need to follow these steps using the given data in the tables:
1. Understand the given data: The given data includes a grid that represents the locations and distances between departments. Each department is assigned a grid location, and the distances between departments are provided in the table.
2. Calculate transportation costs: To determine the transportation costs, you need to multiply the distances between departments with the cost per trip yard. In this case, the cost per trip yard is $1.
3. Determine the total transportation costs: Sum up the transportation costs for all possible department placements to find the total transportation cost associated with each configuration. Consider all the possible combinations of department placements.
4. Evaluate the configurations: Compare the total transportation costs for each configuration to identify the one with the minimum cost.
5. Determine the optimal department placement: Based on the evaluation in step 4, select the configuration with the minimum total transportation cost as the optimal department placement for minimizing transportation costs.
Please provide the data in the tables so I can assist you in calculating the total transportation costs and determining the optimal department placement.
